hi
as some of you may know i was involved in a car accident this past Tuesday, August 4th (2020) that very well could have claimed my life.
there is much more information provided within this link for a gofundme that my friend so graciously created for me and my family.
if anyone could please boost this as much as you can and even take a look at the link it would mean the world to me. anything helps even just a reblog.
if you can, not only sign but also donate to his GoFundMe, run by his mother and cousin. Lakeith has been denied visitation from any family members for the two years he’s been at the correctional facility. he has a daughter who was born after he was arrested that he has been never allowed to see. lets get him out of there.
A few months ago I reblogged a post sharing Jazzy’s gofundme, a girl who was poisoned by her roommate, noting that she only had about half her goal despite the fund being up for several years. I saw a lot of people reblog that version; Just a month or so later when I checked her fund again it had been reached!! And tons of people still reblog it.
I think when people are just scrolling and they come across these posts they don’t check immediately and forget about it, seeing all the notes and assuming the fund is doing well- I think more people need this visualized to realize this person REALLY needs help.
We can’t let Lakeith continue to be punished in this repulsive system. Please make sure him and his fund get the attention Jazzy does and let’s do everything we can to get him to the goal!! We have to reunite him with his family by any means possible.
As of today ( Saturday, August 8th, 2020 ) Lakeith is $12,061 from his goal!!
This thread includes some donations that are done just by clicking a link, and some videos that will donate ad revenue!
hi I’m 21 years old black, trans and need to escape my abuser. Been having s*x for housing and just need a place for me and my cat to stay for a bit. I’d sleep in my car but it’s usually 110 degrees out here.

the gofundme has a lil shy of 4000$ to go!!!
Here's a gofundme set up by the family to recover:
people of colour should not have to bare out their pain to you for you to empathise with them and see them as human
im trying this again, i hope the gofundme helps with visibility. please reblog, i dont have a large social circle to help signal boost. thank you so much everyone!
Saw this on facebook and am keeping the momentum going. I’ve copied all the fundraiser links below, and here’s the link to the original post in case you’d prefer to look at the list that way.
I will periodically update the progress amounts. As the goals are met, I’ll mark them as funded and change the colors from green to pink to make it clear. I’m also tagging the ones that could use more attention with red.
Been hearing a lot about “reparations” lately? Well, this is one way to start working towards that, since those in power certainly won’t.
hey yall, im like suffering really badly latly bc of corona situation.
I hate having to ask for help, but everything has been going nothing but awful for months.
Like some of you know already know, i take care of my little siblings since my mom past away, our “father” abandonned us since. i’m trying to be strong but it’s difficult. Now i have to pay for everything alone. I don’t have a family for asking help. I don’t even know where they are..
I lost my job because corona and don’t get much revenu from unemployement ( 400$). I’m looking for a job every day but it’s not easy bc the economic situation…
I can’t paid rent this month ( 600$) , today is the last day to pay it, i didn’t sleep more 3 hours per night, because i’m so stressed out. I hope i manage to pay it with your help or at least the half of it.
to pay bills is a nightmare, same for doing groceries, i’m always afraid that my card is declined
If you want to help us, any help is welcome, any donation support us and help us to survive. I’m so sorry to ask, i’m ashamed by the situation, i have no choice for now but to count on your empathy and support guys.

“Hello, my name is Sharlene Pike and I am a black transgender person originating from South Africa and working as a receptionist/host. I moved to the United States 4 years ago alone and without any support, as my parents died in my home country when I was 18. Being a transgender black female immigrant places three discrimination barriers and makes it extremely hard to socialize and find a job to live properly. Nevertheless, I tried my best. I had been working at 7 different companies as a receptionist/host/waitress for these four years, but 2 months ago I lost my job. The reasoning I was given - ‘staff reduction due to COVID-19 complications’. I have been unemployed for these 2 months, but the reason I can’t start a new job is not COVID-19. In February, I was diagnosed with stage-3 esophageal cancer. I had no prior knowledge of my diagnosis as this type of cancer can be quite concealed, and I had only two or three weeks of eating discomfort before I had a medical consultation. The company I was working at had a special program to support staff members who need expensive surgeries or therapies, and I believe my diagnosis was the true reason I was reduced, since it happened just after I told my office I might need an extended medical leave. The sum I have spent on the medical procedures only to clarify the future treatment equals my 3 salaries. The sum I’m asking for is actually covering first 6 months of treatment and the cheapest drug - basically simply to have a chance to survive. I have no health insurance and I can’t take a new job because my health condition significantly deteriorated. The thing that I have learnt throughout these months is that it is very hard to get any, even basic medical help if you are transgender. The death rate of the esophageal cancer is about 30%, which is very high, and I ask you to help me to have a chance to survive. I tried to deal with everything without anyone by my side, but current circumstances left me with no choice but to ask you to donate and share my story. Thank you very much.”
this gofundme was started on june 19th, 2020 and as of june 30th, 2020 she still needs donations! i’ll reblog with the donation link in one moment.
If there's a such thing as a good cop, why didn't a single one of them do what these protesters did?
I’m a trans woman living with abusive transphobic parents. I want to move out, but first I need to get my car repaired, which I can’t afford to do on my own. Can you help?

Donate if you can, and either way, please reblog!
The common argument. “Not all cops are bad.” Where are the good cops? Where is their outcry? What were the so-called good cops doing? Standing and watching, doing nothing. And they never will. The few who try get pushed out, fired, harassed. There is no such thing as a good cop in their system.
If you’re able to, please donate to the gofundme page directly set up by George Floyd’s next of kin. After suffering such a horrific loss, they need all the support they can get. All other gofundme pages that look similar are not directly affiliated with the Floyd family.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was slowly and mercilessly killed by 4 Minneapolis police officers while being videotaped by concerned citizens begging them to stop. Floyd was surrounded and brutally dealt with by the police as Derek Chauvin’s knee pinned down his throat. Floyd kept screaming “I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!” but they didn’t listen. He then became unresponsive but was continually choked until his nose began to bleed, and his lifeless body was shoved into a stretcher and into the back of an ambulance.
The officers involved have been fired and the FBI has been called to investigate. But we must do our part to ensure that George Floyd receives the justice he deserves. Please sign these petitions addressed to the FBI, The President, The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, The Minneapolis Police Department, & DA Mike Freeman. An email on your behalf will be sent to all of the above. The lawyer representing Floyd’s family, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, urges us to call DA Mike Freeman (612-348-5550) and tell him to arrest and charge these officers for the Murder of George Floyd, I encourage you to do so.
